The season seven finale "Limbo" was originally intended to be the series finale (with Magnum seemingly walking off to heaven), but overwhelming fan support, and the backing of Tom Selleck, ended up bringing the show back for one more season (and 12 more episodes).

Magnum and T.C. can often be seen wearing a VM02 Da Nang baseball cap in the show.

The gold and black "Team Ring" that Magnum, T.C., Rick and Michelle wear is a Vietnam War memento that symbolizes the tight bond of wartime camaraderie that they all shared together.

Magnum wore several different baseball caps in the series - the ubiquitous Detroit Tigers (Home) and VMO-2 Da Nang caps, the Al's Automotive and Muffler King cap (with the word "Tigers" in large letters in the middle), the SEAL camouflage cap (with the SEAL insignia sewn into it), the "Get Wet!
cap (with the words "Downing Hawaii" in small letters), and several different varieties of plain-colored caps (grey, off-white).
In addition, Magnum wore a Detroit Tigers (Away) cap, one time.
The "Al's Automotive and Muffler King" cap was actually a holdover from the 1979 Tom Selleck/James Whitemore Jr. pilot movie The Chinese Typewriter.

Magnum wore two different types of watches in the show.
For the first three seasons he wore a Chronosport Sea Quartz 30.
For Seasons 4-8, he wore a Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT Master (16750 with the "pepsi" bezel).
The Rolex first appeared in Season Four's "Home From the Sea" (4.1).
It originally belonged to Magnum's father.
Magnum inherited the watch when he died in the Korean War in 1951.

NCIS (2003-Present) has made references to Magnum P.I. on at least four different occasions (Agent Tony DiNozzo is a fan of Magnum P.I. in the show): (1) Tony DiNozzo goes through a closet and comes across the iconic red "jungle bird" Hawaiian shirt and becomes excited ("Magnum shirt!"), (2) a little boy has a Ferrari bed ("Like Magnum..."), (3) a Magnum P.I. lunchbox is shown, and (4) Tony DiNozzo mentions watching a Magnum P.I. episode ("the one where Magnum is stranded alone on the ocean...") when interrogated.
